Poor Billy Bumps, he's always
bumping into things. One day he bumped into a wall. What a silly place
to build a wall,' he said. I'll tear it down and build a palace.'

And that's just what he did - the biggest palace in all the world.

Another talented illustrator is
Korky Paul, who has created the ingenious BILLY BUMPS BUILDS A PALACE, which
cleverly tells a simple story to delight a younger child.WESTERN MORNING NEWS 8 DEC 95

Turn the pages in BILLY
BUMPS BUILDS A PALACE by Korky Paul and everyone helps. The surprise ending
was always well received! CAROUSEL SUMMER 96

This aptly named elephant
has a tendency to bump and once he's bumped he's keen to rebuild to his own
imaginative design. However, his laudable achievements are momentary and the
bricks form a rumbling heap once more. It's all rather sad, but Billy Bump's
consistent optimism suggests he'll cope. Young children find this really funny,
and enjoy the cropped pages and humorous illustrations. They also love Zoé
Paul's (7yrs) colourful elephants which March along the endpapers. Full of
carefree chaos and destruction.BOOKS FOR KEEPS MARCH 96
